Here it is - well just the headline really.
So we are on lockdown and a bloke goes round to a house he owns, but rents to a chum, at 11pm at night, apparently to demand the rent he is owed. Naturally he takes his hunting gun with him. Tenant (and hunting buddy) won't let him in but they shout at each other through the door and then the tenant shoots the door, and landlord (and friend) on the outside is hit. Police turn up, arrest one and send other to hospital (not too serious but still in). Tenant is being charged with attempted murder and his brief is trying to get that down to aggravated assault. Our Boys in Blue locally really don't need this crap, but I have to admit to some giggles about it.
But not as much as over the two Parisian teenagers who decided to spend last weekend with a Facebook pal in the styx south of Angers, but following a bit of an argument they headed back to Paris. However, in order to get to the station at Angers, they nicked a couple of pushbikes. They were spotted cycling up the motorway so the motorway staff stopped them and were pelted with stones and the bicycles. Motorway staff call the police who turned up and with a bit of effort, nicked the charming duo, who admitted what they had done (bit difficult to deny much of it really). The Police took them to the station, having charged them with theft, resisting arrest (rebellion), driving on a motorway in an unsuitable vehicle, then also fined them 135 euros each for being out without a valid attestation and sent them back to Paris.
Only in rural France!!
Here is a pretty picture of pear blossom and forsythia for a bit of more normal colour!
